On the painters pole out the window the antenna is even higher than the
PA0FBK j-pole antenna, which made me try an experiment: participate in the
Zondag Avond Roep Ronde (ZARR)
radio amateur net which is operated from Maren-Kessel (near Den Bosch)
which is a considerable distance on 2 meter. Earlier I was unable to hear
the CQ calls for that net on my own radio while hearing them via a nearby
2 meter SDR (mounted at serious higher elevation than my antenna).

But this time I heard the call when the directional antenna of the net
manager was pointed in my general direction and he heard my answer, so I
had a nice contact on 2 meter FM.

This position of the antenna is quite temporary and I brought it back in
after my participation in the amateur radio net. But this makes a better
place for the antenna on the roof of the dormer and some camouflage to
make it less visible a good idea.
